Chapter II - Being Known

Right after he arrived in his empty house (Leon was still working, and Cloud had to take care of his bookstore, so Sora had his own spare key and got home by his self) Sora buried his face on his fluffy pillow. He was rolling on his bed. His school bag was stashed on the corner of his room, near his bookshelf. Oh. My. God. He thought. I've never seen someone so perfect but when he appeared, he's my teacher. The brunette furrowed his eyebrows, imagining a romantic scene between him and his gorgeous teacher. It feels so nice but also so wrong at the same time, he sighed at his thought. The emptiness in his room just sat quietly. After a while, trying not to forget every detail with his new biology teacher, Sora replayed what just happened at school.

"Good afternoon, class. My name is Riku Volk, and I will be your biology teacher for a whole year." The teacher greeted us with his graceful smile and took a seat behind teacher's desk. "Since this is my first time teaching here -well, also my first time teaching at school, to be honest-, I think a little introduction would be great. Tell me your name and your hobby." He then asked us to introduce ourselves one by one, starting from the front row. Sora could feel his heart beat faster when every other students introduced themselves. Finally his turn, the teacher laid his eyes on him. For a second, Riku seemed puzzled until he raised his voice and said, "okay, your turn, boy."

Sora tried his best not to blush, but he could feel his warm blood climbing up onto his cheeks. "M-my name is Sora Strife," Goddamn it, why am I stuttering?! "And my hobby is reading. Also eating... I guess." WHY DID I SAY THAT. NOW HE'D THINK I'M A FAT PIG OH GOD TAKE ME NOW. Finally he decided to sat down, to restrain his mouth from saying more embarrassing thing.

Riku continued his introduction session, and after every single soul told him their names and hobbies, he asked "So, is there's anything you guys want to know about me?" Once again he flashed his dazzling smile.

Kairi raised her hand. "Are you single?" A whole class room filled with laughter. Typical Kairi. Sora huffed.

"You're the straightforward one, aren't you?" Riku chuckled. "But yes, I am single, for your information." He then winked at Kairi, and Kairi just laugh with a bright pink blush on her cheeks. The other girls giggles, didn't expect such move from their new teacher. Correction, New gorgeous teacher.

"Sora! I think biology would be my favorite subject." Kairi whispered to Sora. Mine too. His mouth formed a little smile, returning Kairi's ear to ear grin.

Suddenly another hand was raised, followed by a question by a girl named Olette. "So, what's your hobby?"

"I have quite a lot. I like reading, I also love sports, any kind of sport." No wonder his body seems so perfect. Sora blushed by his own thought, and then lost into his imagination while staring at the teacher. Suddenly his "deep" thought was popped by school bell. Their whole period was mostly spent for students introduction, leaving only a little time for them to fish out some personal information from Riku. And now their school was over, no one would bother to asked anything personal anymore. "Okay guys, seems like school is over. We'll meet again later." Then he stood up, packed his textbooks and stationary, and he left. It doesn't take a minute for the students to left the class as well. Going home was always exciting. Sora was still in his chair. He just sat there making no movement, while half of the class was already empty. Roxas approached him and shook his friend's shoulder.

"Earth to Sora? Are you alive? Please say something, you still owe me some munny, man." Roxas' brow furrowed

"Damn, Roxas. That teacher is hot."

"What the fuck, Sora."

"Sora, dinner is ready." A big palm covered Sora's left shoulder, squeezed it lightly.

The son opened his eyes. 06:23 pm. He saw cloud sitting on the side of his bed, still squeezing his shoulder. "Is Leon home yet?" Sora mumbled.

"Too bad, he won't be home until 10. He had to work overtime today. Okay, get up, big boy. Nappie time is over."

The brunette finally made his way toward the dining room. Still rubbing his eyes to shoo away sleepiness, he sat down across his father, starting to eat.

"So, how was school?" Cloud's voice broke the silence.

"Not bad." Sora murmured, then swallowed his food.

"How about the teachers?" The father still attempted to keep up a conversation. He looked at his son while eating, curiosity was shown clearly in his blue eyes.

Sora choked when suddenly remembered about Mr. Volk. The blonde handed him a glass of water which gulped down instantly right after it's taken from his hand. "Uh, most of them just like usual, nothing changed. There are some new teachers, though." He coughed a few times.

"That's great. I hope you won't scare them away." Cloud laughed happily.

"Hey! I'm not scary! I'm adorable, you know?" The younger man pouted, and Cloud just laughed harder until Sora joined his laughter. "Well, they're nice so far... Mostly." He crinkled his nose, reminded to his chemistry teacher, Larxene. Cloud gave a small nod and they continued their dinner with some light chat.

After they finished their meal, they cleaned their dishes and spent their night watching TV. Sora glad he didn't have any homework, at least for now. They watched some comedy show until the clock showed 10pm. Leon hadn't come back yet and Cloud told his son to sleep. Sora marched to his room, but instead sleeping, he stared at his books. To be exact, biology book. He reached it, and tried to read some passage. He stared at the pictures slowly, trying to commit them into his memory. Biology was never his favorite subject. The fact was, he never enjoyed biology, and tend to fail a lot in biology. Maybe he could help me. A smiling perfect face with silver hair returned to his mind. Sora closed his book and try to shut his blue eyes. He could hear a sound of opened door and a man's voice that he couldn't made any word from it. It was Leon's. Oh, Leon is home, he thought. He could hear Cloud's chuckle as well. While listening their faint conversation, he faded away into his sleep.

Sora was walking with Roxas toward the school. Their school (The Twilight High, one of favorite school in the district) was always flooded with students. Of course with such a huuuge building, it could hold bazillion students and still looked crowded even half of them were kicked out of school. The inseparable boys (A/N: it sounds like a boy band group lol) were glimmering in sweats, as the sun was conquering the morning, making promise that there won't be any rain like yesterday. Fucking global warming. Sora muttered to himself and took a glance at his blonde fella. He looked as irritated as him with sweat trailing down his forehead.

"Ice cream after school, Sora." It wasn't a question. But Sora didn't refuse, though. He know what he needed and so do Roxas, who knew that their need was mutual. He wiped his eyes when a drop of sweat trailed into his eyes. He grunted.

This day couldn't be any worse. It was really hot and there would be P.E. on the sixth period. On the fucking hot sweaty sixth period, right before lunch when the sun proudly unleash its power toward the earth. And, there's no biology today. Shoot. Sora never wanted to end his school like this, before the school even started. But what can he do, anyway? So he just walked toward the school with the blondie who kept distance 32.6 inch away, so their body heat won't collide onto each others and made them even hotter.

Finally they reached their class and sat down on their own desks. The ACs were gracing them with its cool air, but apparently they weren't enough for about 30 panting students in the hot morning. Everything was still hot, but school had to start, whether it's hot or not. With this heat, every lesson seemed annoying. Not to mention that the teachers so far were quite irritating. Currently, the brunette was facing physics. The teacher, -the old gramps- Mr. Vexen (who never told his last name, therefore asked to be called by his first name only) was getting grouchier than usual. He'd bark on anyone who made a single sound. Sora never loved physics, either.

11:02. Everyone was on the field, waiting for their P.E. teacher, Mr. Lexaeus Finn turned up. About 5 minutes later, he finally arrived and told us to warm up. We ran for a few laps, until 11:18. Still 12 minutes to lunch break. Sora was dying. Well, at least that's what he thought. His right arms were hung on Roxas' shoulder. Roxas tried to drag him aside, where the field was shaded under the trees. Not even half of their trip, Sora's nose started to bleed. Roxas panicked as Sora just stayed quiet. His vision was hazy, and his head felt so heavy. Trying to keep conscious, he bit his lip, hoping that the pain will help. Mr. Finn was already gone, and while the others were resting, waiting for lunch break. Kairi and Roxas took Sora to the infirmary. Sora was half conscious. On their way to the infirmary, Sora heard a familiar voice. He could tell that the owner of that voice was frightened, and suddenly two strong arms took his body, and carried it in bridal style. He caught a glimpse of silver hair. Wait, what? After a while, he could feel his body was placed on a bed. A blurry figure of a woman walked toward Sora and wiped his bleeding nose. The strong hand that carried his body now caress the brunette's hair, as he put a wet towel on Sora's head. After that, Sora fell asleep and everything went dark.

Sora finally awake and sat up from his bed. The towel that was placed on his head fell on his side. He tried to grab it before it fell to the floor, but he was too late and the damp towel fell on the floor with a little splat sound.

"You're awake." A woman approached him, bent down and took the towel from the floor. I guess she's a nurse, Sora thought. Then she stood up and smiled. "You were blacked out when exercising. No wonder, though, it is really hot today. Talk about heatstroke." She huffed. "Anyway, you should thanks your friend who helped you. The blonde boy and the red haired girl." The nurse directed her attention to a note. She was writing on it. Probably a report or something. "Oh, don't forget to thank Mr. Volk too. He carried you here since your friends couldn't make it quick enough."

Sora was astonished. Mr. Volk? He carried me? He was so speechless. Kind of happy, though. "Um. Well, thanks for taking care of me, Mam." He smiled at the nurse, and she replied it with a friendly smile.

"You better go back to your class."

"Sure. Thanks again!" Sora hopped down onto the floor. He could feel his stomach asking for food, and decided to buy something on cafeteria before he went into his class.

While eating his bread that he bought, he strolled trough the hallway toward his class. He walked quietly, not only because his mouth was shut by his food, but he didn't want to make any sound since the other classes were studying.

"Sora?" A familiar voice that he heard before he fell unconscious called his name. He turned his back only to meet a pair of aquamarine eyes. The eyes that made his stomach filled with fluttering butterflies. "Hi. Um, I'm Riku Volk, your biology teacher. Remember?" Riku rubbed the back of his head. He looked nervous.

Sora made a of-course-I-remember-duh face and quickly said, "yes Mr. Volk. The nurse said that you carried me to the infirmary." He blushed a little, as he panicked, trying to find the right words. "Thanks a lot, mister, that's really kind of you."

"Ah, it's nothing. Glad you're okay. You better hurried to your class, though. This period is almost over." Then Riku smiled, trying to cover his uneasiness.

"Yeah." The brown haired girl couldn't find any better answer, and after that, he rushed to his class.

He finally reached his classroom door, and right before he opened the door, the bell rung. Shit. He got in, anyway, and saw his English teacher, Miss Xion Andrews. "Sorry I didn't make it into your class, Miss Andrews." He let out a worried chuckle. Miss Andrews was usually nice, but sometimes she could be real pain when she's on her PMS. Girls.

"It's okay, Sora. I heard about you from Roxas. Glad you've recovered." Miss Andrews walked toward the door, patted Sora's shoulder. Right before she stomped her feet outside the class room, she shouted "don't forget your homework, alright?" Then she went out.

"Sor!" Roxas called him, and Sora walked to the blonde's desk. "You okay?" He looked a bit concerned.

"Yep, perfectly fine. Actually more than fine." He grinned and Roxas slapped his palm onto his face.

"It's about Mr. Volk, isn't it?"

"Bingo." Roxas sighed.

"Okay he carried you, Sora. Felt like a bride, huh?" He smirked, but Sora just laughed.

"Too bad I was half conscious. If not, I'd stare at him for eternity as he carried me." Sora touched his hair, and he just remembered that Mr. Volk caressed his hair. Or maybe that part was only a dream? He didn't mind if it was only a dream at all. It felt so real. "I met him on the way here, too. He was concerned about me! Ya hear that, Roxy?" He put a winning smile on his face, only to be replied by a deep sigh.

"Whatever, Sor."

Sora went back to his desk, and welcomed by Kairi. She was talking about how Sora bled a lot and his skin went pale and looked so sick and now he never looked healthier than this. Then she lent him her notes when Sora left behind and told him some homework for tomorrow, until the teacher came.

The last period of the day was history. The teacher was new. She's quite short, blonde, and her skin was beautiful that it seemed like it was glowing. Her eyes were blue -somehow she looked like Kairi- and her voice was really soft and delicate. Even too soft that the class went really quiet in order to listen to her. Maybe it's her way not to make the class noisy. Clever. Sora liked her already. She was so gentle when teaching and praised her student a lot. He was pretty sure that everyone would love her, she seemed so nice.

Finally the bell rung and the school was officially over. Sora and Roxas quickly walked out of the class room. They went to a bench on the park and sat there. Roxas dropped a text to Demyx, asked if he want to come along to grab some ice cream.

Roxas: Wanna go get ice cream?

Demyx: Sure! Wait 4 me. And u don't mind if Zexy come, rite?

Roxas: Ya. We r waiting on the park. Get ur ass down here quickly.

Demyx: Aw Roxy, ur so mean 2 ur bro! We'll get there asap.

After waiting for a while, a tall blonde with a dark blue haired companion walked toward them. Sora and Roxas left their bench and approached them. They bought 4 sea salt ice cream on the nearest store and went to the top of the clock tower. Their official meeting point.

"Hey, Sora, Roxy said something about you blacked out today? What happened?" Demyx put his ice cream back into his mouth, leaning his body forward and craning his neck to his right side so he could get a better look on Sora.

"Yeah, I kinda passed out. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?" Sora grinned, his eyes widened while Demyx startled and gave him a little nod, motioned him to continue his statement.

"Mr. Volk carried him to the infirmary. Bridal style." Roxas said it in a flat tone. No excitement could be found in his voice.

"Whoa, wait, the new teacher?" The older blonde's eyes widened. His face was bemused. Zexion, who was at first didn't care at all, now seemed interested.

"Yup! And I think he kind of caressed me when I was out." Sora licked his salty-but-sweet ice cream.

"How did you know that? You fainted. And you didn't said anything about caressing before!" Now Roxas looked just like his brother with his expression.

"Uhm, I whas khind of... Ya khnow, haff ahwake." He answered with his ice cream still in his mouth, not bothered to took it off first.

"Hah. He looked like a womanizer, though. With that pretty face of his, he could make any girls swoon!" Demyx replied. Zexion said nothing, but he still staring at Sora, his face filled with curiosity.

"And boys too." Sora added with a cheerful voice. While he ate his ice cream, he kept pondering, what would that caress for. And now to think about it, Mr. Volk was quite jumpy when they met on the hallway. Oh well, I will find out about him.

A/N: Yeah, more Riku in this chapter :D I hope you guys like it! And I can't wait to work on the next chapter :) If you have time, please leave a review and let me know about my writing. Thanks!
